To all 'u1/rom it may concern: I Be it known that I, EMrL WERNER, a citi-i, zen ol the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Bennsylvania, have invented a new and useful so said boards may abut iirinly against the Furniture-Leg Fastening, of which the fol-Ii same, thus increasing the strength ofthe corlowing is a specification. l ners of the boards. My invention consists of an improved leg l The lower ends of the bars C are each proof a table, bench, chair or other sirnilar arti vided with an inturned eye L, and the lower cle of furniture provided with rneans for conends of the bottom sockets D are each 10- necting and strengthening the corners ol the vided 'with an inturned ear M, Whic is top boards orfranie thereof on the interior adapted to rest against the underside of the thereof. eye L, said ear having a slot N therein, It lalso consists of ine-ans for i'irinly holdingl through which is passed the screW or bolt P, the legs of the article on said frame and aswhich also passes through the opening in the sisting to further connect and strengthen the eye L and has on which is adapted to bear on said eye, and which when tightened, firinly clamps said eye and earand serves to su port the same, one on the other in vertical f irection.

It'will be seen'that the sockets D are of different diameters, so as to wedgingly receive a table leg such as R and hold the same steadily and firmly therein.

Referring' to the drawings z-A designates a portion of the top of table, and B designates the boards of the side frame thereof beneath said top, At the corners of said boards on the interior thereof, are the angle ,l bars or lates C, and on the exterior thereof I' are the eg-rr'aceivinfr rings or sockets l). @n l bars, the same being true of the ears M and bolts N, which connect said ears with the eyes L.

In the leg R are screws or plugs S, Which are inserted into the side of the saine, sothat the heads thereof are on the exterior thereof and so disposed that when the leg is iittcd in the sockets D, said screws, if so desired, may contact with the interior of said-sockets, so that in the event of a space existingl between the leg` and sockets, due to contracting or shrinking of the leg, thereof, the screws may be rotated t0 place the heads thereof so hold the leg avoiding Wabbling and sition of the saine.

While I have specified certain means for carryingout my improvements, I do not wish to be limited exactly to the same, but desire to inake such changes as may come within the scope ofthe novelty involved.
